Two More Charges in Sauk Village Attack

Two more teens, ages 15 and 16 have been charged in last week's brutal, shocking attack against Mercedes Michaels, 17. Each has been charged with one count of aggravated battery in juvenile court. However, it doesn't look like there will be charges against the young man who captured the attack on video via his cell phone. Sauk Village police Detective Robert Grossman said of him, "The guy took the video is not affiliated with either of these groups of people. He just happened to be there." Grossman added that there is still at least one more girl involved in the attack that police are looking for. [Sun-Times]
